It's kind of a miracle to get out of bed, let alone hand in three essays.

Luckily my college has accommodations, but it's really a surface thing. If you go part-time they take away your financial aid and grants. And, if you decide to take anything under six classes, you're charged the same amount as though you were taking the six. So...among other things...not all that accommodating....

As I'm writing this I should probably be working on those essays. Just sometimes my mind is a block and I want to go under the covers.

What do you guys study?
I just finished grad school in May (masters) and it was really hard on my mental health. Overall a really great experience and put me where I want to be in life, and I learned a grew a lot, but the stress spiraled me into quite a mood episode and lots of anxiety. I am doing better now, though. Just know it really is hard and make sure you are taking care of your basic needs like eating healthy and having a regular sleep schedule as best as possible. Wishing you the best.
